I have agreed to take part in Barclays Wheels of Change, cycling 100km on Friday 8 September alongside 400 my Barclays colleagues starting and finishing at the Velodrome, Olympic Park (via Essex).

Wheels for change is an annual fundraising cycling challenge, led by Barclays colleagues to raise money for charity. This year, Wheels for Change is raising money for the Prince's Trust, one of the Barclays' UK charity partners. The Prince's Trust specifically focuses on 13 to 30 year-olds who are unemployed, struggling at school or at risk of exclusion.

At Barclays we want to help the next generation achieve their ambitions. By working with organisations like the Prince's Trust we are able to support the next generation, helping them to build stronger futures for themselves and their families. This fundraising initiative will help to invest in their future.

For my part I will be dragging my aging skeleton around the Essex countryside (probably in the rain) sat on a razor's edge bike seat.

Please help support this great cause.

No matter how small or large your contribution may be, it
will make a huge difference!

Many thanks for your continued support, it is greatly appreciated!
